Parties agree on support level for $30M West Bottoms apartment conversion
Bob Mayer of MR Capital Advisors LLC, who is assisting with financing for the project, said Kansas City taxing jurisdictions have agreed to support a 95 percent property tax abatement followed by a 50 percent abatement for five years.
The abatement, which was scheduled to be considered during Thursday morning’s meeting of the Planned Industrial Expansion Authority board, would assist with the $30 million conversion of the vacant, nine-story grocery warehouse and three adjacent structures into 251 apartments.

i really hope this project is executed better than the view and those buildings next to penn valley park.
Re: Why Can't the West Bottoms Be Redeveloped....?
I wonder how much parking will be built to accommodate this project? There's still unsold structured parking for sale at The View, and not an insignificant number of spots, either.
Re: Why Can't the West Bottoms Be Redeveloped....?
the west bottoms will need to meet the city's suburban-style parking minimums, unfortunately. i see that one of the structures (1230 Union) will be demolished for parking. nice!Eon Blue wrote:I wonder how much parking will be built to accommodate this project?

Re: The View at the West Bottom II
Split the thread. Apparently this development has a name: The View at the West Bottom II.

Next big test for city will be eliminating parking minimums in the core, especially along Phase 2 corridors.DaveKCMO wrote:the west bottoms will need to meet the city's suburban-style parking minimums, unfortunately. i see that one of the structures (1230 Union) will be demolished for parking. nice!

I wouldn't say just the core, but to on the major commercial corridors too.Eon Blue wrote:Next big test for city will be eliminating parking minimums in the core, especially along Phase 2 corridors.DaveKCMO wrote:the west bottoms will need to meet the city's suburban-style parking minimums, unfortunately. i see that one of the structures (1230 Union) will be demolished for parking. nice!
there's a huge number of shopping centers along N. Oak, Antioch and such which if developers could put in less parking that I bet we would see interest in tear outs and new development happen (most of them I'm thinking of are junk)
also, a suburban commercial zoning where you don't need parking per development, you just need parking nearby. offer some sort of tax credit to owners that share their parking with other developments. so an old tiny strip mall next to another strip mall could look at a tear out and put something new which would lease better

Re: The View at the West Bottom II (Weld Wheel Building)
Why are any parking requirements anywhere necessary?

Because people are afraid that 'a development', residential or otherwise, will suck up all of the on-street parking from a given community.TheBigChuckbowski wrote:Why are any parking requirements anywhere necessary?

This plan is slated to be approved by the full City Council this Wednesday, with a slight reduction in the number of units (249).

Re: The View at the West Bottom II (Weld Wheel Building)
a tidbit from an article about a different development: http://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/n ... oject.html
The project is expected to be only the second multifamily development completed in the West Bottoms in recent history — hence, the risk. Developer Wayne Reeder's View II at WB, a 250-unit historic conversion project on the north side of the West Bottoms, won a PIEA abatement last year but has stalled due to an inability to attract private debt financing, Cooper said.
Re: The View at the West Bottom II (Weld Wheel Building)
i'm guessing this one just won't happen. one of the buildings has seen some activity (windows removed), but no visible activity for some time.

It looks like Wayne Reeder has put these properties on the market:

Re: The View at the West Bottom II (Weld Wheel Building)
It's back! Apparently ownership has changed and a serious plan is in the works for this place, encompassing all the buildings on the block. I got to tag along in a tour of the place before construction starts and have even more pictures to post
Re: The View at the West Bottom II (Weld Wheel Building)
Some of those pix are terrifying. Plus, I may have seen a dead body.
